Chapter 246: The Radiant Flower that Purifies the Land
[February 9, Wasteland Calendar, Disaster Day, 8:00, Sunny]
[Today's temperature is 55℃-65℃]
[Hint: Congratulations to the player for surviving the first stage of the disaster. The survival situation will become even more severe in the future. 】
[Hint: Tip: The higher the temperature, the lower temperature of the shelter will attract more mutant beasts, so please be careful to resist. 】
On the tenth day after the disaster, the temperature suddenly rose by 7°C, with the highest temperature exceeding 65°C.
[World Channel: How can we survive like this! The water source that we managed to save yesterday has dried up again! 】
[World Channel: The current water source refresh is accompanied by too many mutant beasts, which are impossible to defeat. 】
[World Channel: The bottled water in our territory is almost exhausted! 】
[World Channel: I was wondering what the commotion outside the base was last night. Turns out it was a mutant beast! 】
Players' daily must is to complain about the current situation of the wasteland on the world channel.
The wasteland originally has no water resources unless groundwater can be extracted.
Or there could be a filtering device that can purify dirty water.
When this extreme heat disaster struck, the system was kind enough to refresh some springs as water sources.
The players were originally quite happy. It was fine if the temperature was high, and it wasn’t too bad to have water.
However, as the water source was refreshed, the mutant beasts gradually hid themselves.
Dozens of mutant beasts suddenly spawned around many water sources, making it impossible to grab them all.
They also have to guard against these mutant beasts from robbing their territory.
Now, the system directly said that they will come, but the time is uncertain.
[World Channel: Forget about the water source. It’s bad enough that this wasteland can’t be used for farming. When I woke up today, I found that the planting fields that I took back from the warehouse before the disaster were also dry! 】
What?
Are the crop fields drying up?
Wen Ning quickly took the planting field out of the underground warehouse and took a look. ! ! !
It has dried up a lot indeed.
The originally moist black soil had become a bit hardened, and water vapor evaporated visibly as soon as it was taken out.
Wen Ning quickly threw it back into the warehouse. He wondered if he would be able to plant it after the disaster! ?
Looking around, the territory was covered with hardened and cracked land.
Sand and gravel were everywhere.
I dare not step out without a pair of good shoes.
Inside Wen Ning's territory, there are robots working day and night to take care of the affairs of the territory.
Wen Ning would arrange Mira to do the job if he could.
Even if she ate ice cream before going out, she could not resist the strong ultraviolet rays on her body.
The exposed skin was reflected in the hot sunlight.
Given such a harsh environment, it’s no wonder that Shi Tie is unwilling to bring his people here.
Even the cat people stayed indoors.
Thinking of this, Wen Ning looked at the workbench. The cool jade pendant would be completed in half an hour.
At that time, it can be distributed to the people first to ensure their normal activities so that they can go out to collect supplies and build the territory.
Wen Ning was eating food in the shelter when Mira suddenly reminded him.
"Lord, Master Tie is at the door."
Um?
Come to see her at this time?
Could it be that Mira's persuasion yesterday worked?
Wen Ning took a look at the shelter. No one except his own people had ever been here.
But there is nothing to be taboo about. They are just citizens. If they do something wrong, Wen Ning can kick them out of the territory with just a thought.
Shi Tie was given temporary authority, the military metal gas valve was deflated, and then slowly opened.
As soon as he opened it, Shitie was refreshed by the cool breeze blowing towards him.
The irritability that was difficult to suppress was relieved a lot.
However, Shi Tie waited outside obediently and did not step in easily.
It wasn't until Mira flew to the door that he followed Mira into Wen Ning's shelter.
Along the way, he didn't look around and kept his head slightly lowered.
Wen Ning was holding a bowl of mung bean soup and drinking it slowly. When he heard the noise, he turned around and greeted them.
"Master Tie."
Wen Ning followed Mira and called Shi Tie Master Tie, which made Shi Tie feel a little embarrassed.
The tiger on his face moved happily twice, and Wen Ning asked him to sit down.
At first, Shi Tie was a little reserved. Wen Ning pushed a bowl of mung bean soup in front of him and didn't rush to ask him why he came.
After spending the past few days in contact with Wen Ning, Shi Tie realized that this lord was wealthy and easy-going, and was different from the arrogant humans he had come into contact with before.
After drinking two sips of mung bean soup, the heat in my heart was miraculously suppressed.
"Lord, I came here to ask something. This disaster seems to be getting worse..."
Didn't you say the disaster would be over soon?
Wen Ning raised his eyelids, a hint of teasing flashing in his shrewd eyes.
"Within a week, the disaster will be over, but before it ends, it will reach its peak."
Shi Tie's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Then...if this continues, what will happen to the land?!"
Wen Ning was stunned. Land?
Wasteland land?
What to do with land that worries about wasteland?
"In the past few days, all the moisture on the land has evaporated, but the ocean has not been affected at all. This is unreasonable."
Wen Ning came back to his senses, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and patiently explained.
"That's the thing about this place, Lion Iron. Disasters never end. When the extreme heat is gone, it might be heavy rain, floods, or something else."
Wen Ning did not lie to Shitie about the environment here. To be honest, the living environment in the wasteland might not be as good as that in their Orc Continent.
Shi Tie fell into silence and looked up after a long time.
"Lord, it is already difficult to grow food on the land here. After this disaster, it is absolutely impossible to grow food."
Wen Ning didn't care, as the land in the wasteland was not suitable for cultivation.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, I heard Shi Tie say with some regret.
"Originally, there is a kind of flower in our Lion Clan settlement that can purify the land. It is called Yaohui Flower, which can improve the condition of the land."
"After the improvement, the land can return to a normal state where it can be planted even if it has been exposed to nuclear radiation."
【bite! Trigger the hidden mission! Convince the Lionmen to bring the seeds of the Glowing Flower to the wasteland to plant. 】
Wen Ning sat up straight in an instant, staring at Shi Tie with his beautiful eyes.
"What did you say!? Plants that can improve the land!"
Are there such magical plants in the Orc Continent?
Shi Tie was stunned by the lord's excited tone. He always thought that this human lord was in control of everything and always looked calm.
It was the first time I saw her lose her composure.
However, when it comes to things that protect his own race, Shi Tie immediately starts talking nonstop.
"The Shining Flower is a plant unique to our Orc Continent. It can purify the air, water, and land."
The Yaohui flower can survive robustly in most environments, the only thing it cannot tolerate is prolonged high temperatures.
The Orc Continent has been experiencing continuous high temperatures for hundreds of years. As the Yaohui Flowers withered one by one, the Lionmen no longer planted Yaohui Flowers.
Instead, collect the seeds of the Yaohui flower.
The seeds of this flower are very difficult to collect. First, you have to pick the seeds right in the middle of the stamen when the flower blooms.
A flower has only one seed.
The flowers bloom for only a short time.
The opportunity is fleeting.
And the preservation of Yaohui flower seeds also requires very strict conditions.
Since Shitie’s grandfather’s generation, they have been committed to protecting the seeds of the Yaohui flower.
He also recorded all the methods of growing the Yaohui Flower and passed them on to the descendants of the Lion Man.
From his father to him, the Lionmen had no more than 100 Yaohuihua seeds.
And now, these 100 seeds are about to rot in the Orc Continent.
If the seeds are gone, it will be useless even if the lion man knows how to grow the Yaohui flower.
This is why Shi Tie hurried over to ask Wen Ning how long the disaster would take to end.
After hearing Wen Ning say that the disaster would end in less than a week, Shi Tie had no hope of regaining it, because it would take no more than three days for the Yaohui Flower seeds to rot.
There is no hope.
